Will You Play Deepak Chopra's New Video Game?

No, you won't. Because it's not actually a game at all, but a ... well, that's not quite clear, exactly.

According to MSNBC's In-Game Blog, Deepak Chopra, the controversial mind-body connection spiritualist is teaming with developer THQ for "Leela" (Sanskrit for "play"), an "experience" with game play elements.

Seven different interactive exercises based on the seven "chakras," the points along the body that Chopra says serve as energy centers, task players with moving their bodies to control graphics onscreen set to a soothing soundtrack. The mini-games increase in difficulty, but "Leela" places no importance on a final score or even finishing the exercises.

Chopra tells the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "I personally believe that you can accelerate neural development and biological evolution through video games ... If we can measure what's happening in your body, your heart, your emotions, your breath and your mind, then there's no reason why we can't create a new generation of video games that can help accelerate the personal, psychological, emotional and spiritual development of human beings."

Chopra's multi-year licensing agreement with gaming giant THQ was announced last year. "Leela" is scheduled for release on November 8th for the Xbox 360 and the Wii.
